JUNIOR NEWSPAPER CARRIERS NEEDED IN ERLANGER AREA EDGEWOOD — It may seem a little unusual at first, raising funds for a play area at a hospice center, but actu- ally it’s an important need. Keli Catalano, who’s organizing the fundraising effort to build a play area at St. Elizabeth Hospice in Edgewood, understands this firsthand. “I remember coming into hospice to visit my mom and I’d always see chil- dren sitting in the waiting areas. Some kids spend all day visiting their loved ones,” Catalano said. “That’s hard on a kid. After my mother passed away, I wanted to do something for this wonderful place that had done so much for her. When I looked at their wish list the play area really stood out to me,” she said. Catalano decided she wanted to start a fundraising campaign for the playground. “In addition to this being something for children in need, it’s also some- thing soothing for those in hospice care,” she said. “It’s soothing to see children playing and to know that life continues on.” So Catalano has started a campaign through the online fundraising site gofundme.com. To reward and encourage more do- nors, she’s offering a deal through her humor-based greeting card business Colette Paperie in Northside. For ev- ery donation of $10 or more, Colette Pa- perie will give them 10 free greeting cards, a $45 value. Other businesses have chipped in and are sponsoring giving levels too. For example, donations of $50 receive a gift card to the Eagle Bar & Grill in Over-the-Rhine. So far Catalano has raised $2,781. A total of $25,000 is needed. Catalano said she’s hopeful that by getting the word out, more people will donate and the total will be raised as early as Octo- ber of this year.

For many years there was nothing special to note about this gateway into the community, however, “all of that is in the midst of change,” Erlanger community liaison Becky Hopkins said. Last summer, a portion of the avenue became lined with trees. Now, sidewalks are beginning to flank the area. These walkways are lined with a brick border, she said, providing further defi- nition to the area. What is that definition being brought forward exactly? It’s not just about aesthetics, ac- cording to Hopkins. The intent behind this effort is to “spur growth and economic develop- ment.” There are plans for further landscaping improvements all along the avenue to Donaldson Road including on and around the exit and entrance ramps. Re- moval of the bus shelter at the corner of Commonwealth Ave- nue and Baker Street is also planned. TANK will relocate the stop and build a new and more aesthetically appealing shelter. So far, the project has cost about $72,000. The total Gate- way Project cost, with unlimited funding, would be about $1.1mil- lion, according to Carter Dicker- son, landscape architect for the engineering group Viox & Viox. However, the city is working with capital improvement funds it has available and is open to grant opportunities. Fields said the city is explor- ing grant options for beautifica- tion efforts at the city’s other ga- teway on Dixie Highway, as well. The Commonwealth Avenue project is being spread out over several years and will include about five phases. Future phases could include pedestrian street lighting with12-foot black lantern poles. There are also plans to replace traffic signals, now dangling by wires, with those hanging from mast-arm traffic signals, similar to those at 12th Street in Covington. In addition, there are plans for a decorative green space median along Commonwealth Avenue. According to Hopkins this beautification is also about mak- ing “new businesses feel wel- come and appreciated. “We also want our longtime businesses to feel refreshed,” she said. Fields said the beautification will have “a direct effect on re- vitalization of the community.” “If people see the city fixing up the streets, that encourages them to fix up their properties, too,” he said. “We want to create that idea and a sense of wel- come.” Envisioning Commonwealth Station Last December the city shared with residents the re- sults of a study of Common- wealth Avenue and surrounding areas that yielded ideas for a possible redevelopment dubbed Commonwealth Station. Commonwealth Station en- compasses Commonwealth Av- enue, portions of Erlanger and Riggs roads, Baker Street and Cintonya Drive. A steering com- mittee made up of area property and business owners had con- ducted workshops since 2012 to gather input on the possible pro- ject. The study investigated new zoning options, specifically a form-based zoning code desig- nated for things like shopping centers, professional offices and single multifamily homes.

Form-based code zon-ing has been used andproven successful inBellevue and Cincinnati.According to formbased-codes.org, “Form-basedcodes address the rela-tionship between buildingfacades and the publicrealm, the form and massof buildings in relation toone another, and the scaleand types of streets andblocks.”

At theDecembermeet-ing Phil Drees, a propertyowner in the area whoserved on the steeringcommittee, urged councilmembers and the commu-nity to support the codechanges.

“Not much haschanged in this area in somany years,” he said.“We’ve got to do some-thing. This is a small step,agoodfirst step.Thisareahas so much potential, it’sa great area, we’ve got todo something here.”

According to Fields,underthenewcode,whichhas yet to be voted upon,no one’s property wouldbe taken and no ownerswould be forced to selltheir property. Fields saidthe city is planning to holdmeetingson the topicwithbusiness and propertyowners to gather furtherinputbefore introducingaproposed new code tocouncil.

“We also have pendingdevelopments on the ta-ble,” Fields told the Re-corder previously. “Whenwe see where they go,we’ll have a clearer pic-ture of the future andmaybe the Toyota blowwon’t be so bad. I can’tgive details, but there arepeople talking;whoknowswhat will happen.”

ERLANGER — The pathto college and careerreadiness begins in theearliest stages of a child’slife, according to KathyBurkhardt.

That’s why the Erlang-er-ElsmereSchoolssuper-intendent is so excitedabout Children Inc. open-ing an Early LearningCenter at LloydMemorial

HighSchool thisfall.

Found-ed in 1977,ChildrenInc., aUnit-ed Wayagencypartner,provides

high quality, readily ac-cessible child care, pre-school and school-agededucation programs withan emphasis on familysuccess.

“This partnership(with Children Inc.) willprovide high-qualitylearning experiences for3- to 5-year-olds,” Burk-hardt said. “We know thatmore than half of our en-tering kindergartners arenot in any type of child-care programs. There-fore, this center may helpaddress an unmet needfor families and the com-munity. Our goal is to al-ways do all we can for ourstudents to help themlearn and grow. This isoneofmany initiativeswehave in place to addresskindergarten readiness.”

Burkhardt said a large

bodyofbrainresearchex-ists that reveals that ifchildren are not exposedto high-quality, nurturingand engaging learning ex-periences during the cru-cial years ofbirth to age5,then they may start kin-dergarten already be-hind. In fact, only 10 per-cent of the brain is devel-oped at birth, but 95 per-cent isdevelopedbyage6.

Thecenterwill operateas an in-school preschooland will provide a highquality educational pro-gram to serve childrenwho are 3 to 5. Itwill oper-ate year-round with ex-tended hours, from 7 a.m.to 6 p.m. Monday throughFriday; it will close formajor holidays.

Children can attendfulldaysorhalfdays; theycan continue enrollmentduring the summer andschool breaks or they canattend only during theschool calendar year.

It's affordable, too, ac-cording to Children Inc.associate executivedirec-tor Phyllis Berry. Mostworking families that re-ceive free or reduced-price lunch will qualifyfor tuition assistance, shesaid.

Berry said that Chil-dren Inc. is “verygratefuland excited to serve fam-ilies in the area.”

“If a child is ready forkindergarten, they’ll dowell in their entire schoolcareer,” she said. “Ourgoal is to help every childin the district get ready tolearn.”

The new Early Learn-ing Center is expected toopen in September. Reno-vations are underway tocreate the new center inan unused section of anolder wing of Lloyd. Thecenter will be separatedfrom the rest of the build-ing, have its own facilitiesand include an outdoorplayground area.

Coleen is assisted by herdaughter Samantha and Sa-mantha’s husband, Josh Dietz.TheyDanielle train sevendaysa week. Danielle knows thatshe will be expected to repli-cate her success from fouryears ago, and is ready for thechallenge.

“I am very confident,” saidDanielle.

She should be, consideringall the hardwork she puts in toperfecting her routine. Shepractices seven days a weekfor at least three hours a day,training at MJM Studios inFlorenceandatFiveStarGym-nastics in Erlanger. She knowsthat practices are only going toget harder as she trains to rep-resent her country at the high-est level.

This will be the first timeDaniellehascompetedatLevelFour,which is the highest levelof competition. She spent twoyears practicing her LevelThree routing, and just beganimplementing her Level Fourroutine a month ago.

MeganMerschCOMMUNITYRECORDER GUESTCOLUMNIST

The NewYork Times, apaper that has many timesprinted articles endorsing theprohibition of cannabis andeditorializing in favor of con-tinuing this prohibition hasthrown in the towel. Sunday,

July 27, sawthe end ofthat position.The Timeseditorialboard ran aneditorialcalling forthe end ofcannabisprohibition.The Timesjoins severalconservativepublications

such as The National Reviewin this position.

The Times rightly consid-ered the evidence and decidedprohibition is a failure and thetime has come for full legal-ization on the federal level.Public opinion has moved onthis issue over the last 20years and at this time themajority of Americans favor,not just medical cannabis, butfull legalization for the indus-trial, medical and recreationaluse of marijuana.

The Office of Drug ControlPolicy, (ONDCP), respondedof course. Their response waswhat you would expect, vagueassertions of negative out-comes when using cannabisfor any reason. Interestingly,as public knowledge of canna-bis and its many uses becomecommon, the ONDCP hasbecomemore selective in itspredictions of doom andgloom. They cited four talkingpoints as the reasons for con-tinuing the total prohibition ofcannabis.

1. Marijuana affects thedeveloping brain. This onestarted in 2009 when GordonBrown was PrimeMinister ofEngland. He wanted to raisepenalties for cannabis claim-ingmarijuana causedmentalillness and schizophrenia. Hewas trying to gin up votesfrom the Conservatives. Hischief medical adviser quit

over it. Since then, with noevidence to support it, thisnotion has devolved to, “Can-nabis causes schizophrenia inteens” and from that to, “cog-nitive impairment in the de-veloping brain.” None of thishas any solid evidence tosupport it.

2. Marijuana has a detri-mental effect on academicachievement. Students whoget D’s and E’s are more likelyto be cannabis users. OK.Let’s just say that having lowgrades are also more likely tocome from teenagers living indysfunctional circumstances.Which came first, dysfunc-tional families or cannabisuse?Most likely the dysfunc-tional family.

These first two points aremoot anyway because canna-bis will still remain illegal forpersons under 21.

3. Marijuana is addictive.Yes cannabis is somewhataddictive in the same way icecream or Twinkies or televi-sion can be addictive and wehaven’t made them illegal tosave the citizens from them.

4. Drugged driving is athreat to our roadways. Thisone’s easy to debunk. Like theschizophrenia claim, one hasonly to ask, “Where are thebodies?” Just as there are nonumbers supporting theschizophrenia claim there isno increase in traffic acci-dents to support this claimeither. Seventeen years ofCalifornians accessing canna-bis and no numbers showingany increase in accidents.

Seventy-seven years ofpropaganda and the suppres-sion of personal freedom andit all comes down to four talk-ing points debunked. Theprohibition of cannabis hasbeen as dismal a failure as the13-year prohibition of alcoholwas. We have destroyedmil-lions of lives and wasted bil-lions in treasure and forwhat? Can we just stop itnow?

Questions statementabout Erlanger tax rates

There is an old saying thatyou can have numbers saywhat you want them to say.

Mayor Rouse’s guest col-umn of July 24 stated that“Erlanger’s tax rates sitsquarely in the middle of thepack of all Northern Kentuckycommunities.”

His statement is far fromthe truth.

Erlanger’s property tax rateof 0.3570 per $100 valuation isthe sixth highest of the 36 cit-ies in Northern Kentucky.

The tangible tax rate of0.6780 per 100 valuation is theseventh highest in NorthernKentucky. These are 2013rates.

The above information wastaken from public recordslisted on Northern KentuckyCommunity Profile.

Mayor Rouse needs to ex-plain himself.

Ed NordlohErlanger

Should taxes pay forreproductive issues?

While The Hobby Lobbydecision focused on companiesbeing required to insure con-traceptive devices, it alsobrought to mind again thequestion of whether or not taxmoney should be spent on re-productive issues.

There is the basic biologicalfact that babies are an absolutenecessity. Without themwebecome extinct.

Viagra and products likethat can help create new lifeby making a male human ableto perform the deed of fertiliz-ing the egg. Contraceptivedevises of any kind are de-signed to prevent new life.Abortion is a surgical proce-dure which kills new life.

That being the case, whereshould our tax dollars bespent? Creating new life, pre-venting new life or killing thenew life before it can be born?

Ted SmithPark Hills

Thanks for bringingbenefit to light

I want to thank the Record-er and columnist CharlesBrewer for “Little-known ben-efit can help veterans.” Thisbenefit available for veteransand their families can be diffi-cult to navigate and it’s heart-breaking to hear of familieswho have wasted their money.

The VA has implemented aFully Developed Claims Proc-ess to apply for the pension aswell as other VA benefits. Thisprocess is designed to stream-line claims that are ready to bedecided the moment they enterthe VA system. Residents inKentucky can locate contactinformation for their localrepresentative at veterans.ky-.gov or by calling 502-595-4447.A veteran can confirm accredi-tation at va.gov/ogc/apps/ac-creditation/index.asp.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

July 31 questionWhat do you consider the

most important races/issues inthe November election?Why arethey important?

“School board, because ourchildren are the future of ourcommunity.”

Carrie Cox

“None. It’s all a game be-tween the two-party systempitting us against one another.”

John Bernard

“The school board electionspresent a situation where fresheyes and ears can become animmediate majority.”

Aaron Gillum

“... Get back to the Constitu-tion with focus on freedom andliberty. Both parties areflawed.”

Joe Kalil

“Closing the gap on finan-cial inequality via the Senate.”

Lesley Chambers

“The near-term future ofKentucky depends in largepart on who will occupy theU.S. Senate seat for our com-

monwealth. Kentucky Secre-tary of State Alison LunderganGrimes has launched a hugeeffort to unseat incumbentMitch McConnell. Grimes hastaken positions on Kentucky’skey issues: job creation andraising the minimumwage,pay equity for women, supportof our coal industry and reduc-ing the federal regulations thatweigh down our energy indus-try. She opposes McConnell’sgoal to privatize Social Securi-ty, and she has spoken outstrongly against McConnell’splan to destroy Medicare as weknow it.

“Grimes is not owned bycorporations and has not beendulled into the torpor and ri-gidity of Washington politics

and politicians.“McConnell has, time after

time, voted against raising theminimumwage. He declared inpublic that creating jobs is nothis job. If McConnell has beensuch a promoter of resourcesfor Kentucky, how come weare still mired in unemploy-ment, low wages, attacks onthe coal industry, inequalityfor women, staggering studentdebt and grave citizen healthissues?

“Alison will bring freshenergy, smarter ideas, effec-tive use of modern technology,and a willingness to workacross the aisle – all of whichMcConnell has failed at.McConnell has been especiallygood at protecting the million-aires and billionaires who cur-rently runWashington.

If McConnell really had thepower, vision and sense ofresponsibility he claims tohave, how come he has beentotally unsuccessful in bring-ing federal money to NorthernKentucky to help replace theBrent Spence bridge? He hasnot been minding the store.”

BrynMooth, whowrites the food blogWrites4Food.com, amongother creative endeavors,stopped by my home lastweek to visit my herbgarden and chat.

We found out we hadlots in com-mon whenit comes tofood andgardening,though Iwill sayBryn looksway tooyoung to beso accom-plished.Her blog

has doable, really goodrecipes with beautifulphotos. One that caughtmy eye recently was herFrench picnic salad in ajar. Oh my gosh, I wantedto dig into the photo witha fork, it looked thatgood. I’m sharing therecipe here.

By the way, this fallshe’ll be publishing herbook “The Findlay Mar-ket Cookbook” with sto-ries and recipes thatcelebrate our unique andhistoric Findlay Market.The book focuses on foodthat vendors are proud tosell along with their sto-ries and histories.

MyMom and Daddrove their Chevy toFindlay just about everyweek when we were kids.They had certain favoritevendors who knew themby name just like I dotoday. Mom and Dadalways got good bargains,witnessed by a trunk loadof ethnic foods for ourLebanese table!

Bryn’s Frenchpicnic salad in a jar

Bryn says: “A beauti-ful layered salad in a jar(She used aWeck .5LMold jar), perfect fortransporting to a picnicor, less romantically, tothe office. You could spinthis salad-in-a-jar thing amillion different ways,but I went for a riff onthe classic French nicoisesalad, with steamed pota-toes, green beans and amustardy vinaigrette. Ifyou layer the dressing onthe bottom and the let-tuce on the top, then yoursalad ingredients staynice and fresh and crisp

until you’re ready to eat,at which point you simplyshake the jar to distributethe dressing, and stickyour fork all the way tothe bottom to get a bit ofeverything in one bite.”

Salad8 to 10 small cherry or

grape tomatoes1/2 cup shredded

cooked chickenHandful fresh green

beans, trimmed to 1-inchlengths

3 little fingerling pota-toes

Few pitted black olives3-4 leaves of butter

lettuce, cut into thin rib-bons

Mustardy vinaigrette

Whisk together:1/3 cup white-wine or

champagne vinegar3 tablespoons Dijon

mustard1 tablespoon honey1/2 cup olive oilSalt and pepperPrepare green beans

and potatoes: In a pot ofboiling salted water, cookpotatoes until just tender,about 8 to 10 minutes;remove with slottedspoon to colander to cool.To the same pot, addbeans and blanch for 1minute; transfer to colan-der and run under verycold water to stop cook-ing. Slice potatoes intorounds about 1/4-inch

thick.Spoon a generous ta-

blespoon of dressing intobottom of jar, then layerrest of ingredients in thisorder: cherry tomatoes,shredded cooked chicken,green beans, sliced pota-toes, black olives and,finally, lettuce. Keeprefrigerated until about30 minutes before serv-ing. Shake jar to distrib-ute dressing.

Rita’s freshpeppermint iced tea

For Matt, who has anabundance of mint andasked: “How do I sub-stitute fresh mint for theamount of mint that’s in ateabag?”

Take a generous cou-ple handful of mintleaves and crush them alittle between your palmsor with a spoon to releasethe healthful oils. Placeinto a large mug or jar.Pour 2 cups simmeringwater over, cover andsteep about 10 minutes.Strain and taste. Addmore water if you like.Cool and pour over ice. Ilike to sweeten it withraw honey or Stevia andserve with a wedge ofcitrus.

Tips fromRita’s garden

Along with vitamin C,mint is a good digestiveherb and the tea is a natu-ral coolant.

Army, I joined the familybusiness and knew that ifI wanted to see it flourish,I needed to further mybusiness education,”McDaniel said. “With con-venient class schedules, agreat reputation, and agreat location, I knew thatNKU was the right fit forme.”

He started to see re-sults immediately.

McDaniel said the bestpart of the NKU MBAprogram was havingclasses with professorswho were a mix of acade-miaandreal-worldpracti-tioners. “This allowed thetheory of what I learnedat night to be put intopractice thenextmorningat our family business,”he said.
